Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.
As of 7/28/2023, Dr. Pao has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients.

The Doctor was well informed and did a good job explaining her condition! Her delivery was somewhat blunt and in my opinion missed as far as a good bedside manner is concerned. When you're dealing with loved ones who are upset with their loved ones condition I believe a lot of empathy is important.

Dr. Pao explained in detail what was wrong with a prior diagnosis by my local doctor. I do not have any stages (early or late) of Alzheimer's. Explained that I shouldn't be on the medication that was prescribed. All the evaluations/tests she gave me were beneficial to arriving at her conclusion. She ordered further testing to determine if there are any underlying conditions and to ween myself off the medication by my prior doctor.

It was a pleasure to have Dr. Pao as my physician for brain health. She ordered all of the tests necessary to make an diagnosis accurate. During the appointment, Dr. Pao took her time explaining what the studies found, while showing the images from various scans. I did not feel as though she was in a hurry to complete the appointment with me. I am glad I met Dr. Pao.
